I am a text person

I realized I am a text person.

I love to use text to communicate with people. Email and SMS are my favorites.

My assistant is seating one cubicle in front of me, but I prefer use email to talk to her.

Reason? I hate to raise my voice and talk. I find it rude to raise my voice for a conversation.

Then, I realized most people are not a text person.

I have a good friend, his sms, is always less than 3 words. Either is "OK", "Call me!" or "Call me again!" Always short and crisp.

Then I have another friend, she doesn't like to reply email. Got update or no update, also no reply email one. So you won't know if she has helped you done that thing or not? And then because gun-cheong about the status, u have to call her. And worst, out of 5 calls, 3 calls go into voice mail one. And make u look like a physcho like trying to hunt her down. Why? Because u just want to find out what's the status of the matter only, only if she can just reply an email informing u of the status leh.

Then I have some other friend, you sms her asked her 3 questions, she will answer "OK." Don't know she OK with which questions?

I even have friend who refused to give me his handphone number, coz he said, SMS cost money. Better just email. :

Luckily bui bui, my sister, my mom have trained by me successfully to become a text person. If not, I will go crazy... Oh, my dad and my brother are not text person. They belongs to the group "reply short short" or "no reply".

Friends ah friends... can type more than 3 words on SMS next time or not? Nowadays mobile phone so convenient, I really think SMS can achieve more things efficiently, especially connection between overseas. Email need to check only popped out, but SMS, once received will beep beep you. So good. Why no use?

p/s: luckily my good fren here purple mushroom also a heavy text person. Hahaha... Sometimes in the weekend, we can "beep beep" here and "beep beep" there half afternoon, until hubby questioned me "why don't u two just picked up the phone and talk??". Hehehe...
